So... portraits and other digital sketches...

I think the reason why I created another blog for my digital work is because I was doing some speed paintings during Spring 2013 and I honestly didn't stick with it after 30 days. The blog was supposed to be just for speed painting. I've put that on hold partly due to midterms and lack of time to put into them, even if they were roughly 30mins to an hour (other times I was just being lazy and unmotivated to do stuff on my own). Now the other blog turned into a digital sketch/painting blog for studies. Right now I'm working on some portrait stuff, but I might jump back into landscapes. Let's just see how many faces I paint before I get sick of it. lol. oi.

In this class we were encouraged to find our own "style" using some of our favorite artists as studies and reference points to start.

In our final project, we were put into groups and had to create a concept art book based off of a Brothers Grimm Fairytale. The group I was in consisted of four people who tried to emulate watercolor in Photoshop. The story we chose was, “Snow White and Rose Red”. For the next four weeks we tried to hammer out our ideations, story thumbnails, and character designs and then finally our final story moments for our project. Our goal was to make illustrations for a children’s book that was inspired by Mary Blair’s pieces and meshing our watercolor styles together. The overall point of the project was the whole teamwork - learning how to work together and I think we achieved that goal. Here are the illustrations that I contributed to the final:

I was looking back on the work I have here versus my other painting blog, and it seems that I'm switching gears. If anyone is looking for more of my work please follow http://jlong-paints.blogspot.com/ instead.
I think I'm just going to reserve this blog for random sketches, class related project work, and things that don't seem like they quite fit into the other blog even though this one started out as my main art blog. This blog seems to have turned into a summaries of different subjects and doodles blog versus a art/portfolio of a sort blog. Besides, there's more prettier things on the other blog than this one. haha.
